Fibroblast growth factor 23 is upregulated in the kidney in a chronic kidney disease rat model.

ABSTRACT: The hormone fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is secreted from bone and is involved in phosphorus (P) metabolism. FGF23 mainly binds the FGF receptor, which interacts with αKlotho in the kidney or parathyroid and regulates Na-dependent phosphate co-transporter type IIa (NaPi-IIa) and type IIc (NaPi-IIc) expression, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) activity, and parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion. In this study, we utilized hemi-nephrectomized rats fed a high-P diet (HP Nx), rats subjected to a partial nephrectomy (PN) and rats with doxorubicin-induced renal failure (DXR) as chronic kidney disease (CKD) animal models and analyzed the P metabolism and FGF23 expression in the kidneys in each CKD model. We cultured HK2 cells with a high level of P, 1,25(OH)2D3 or transforming growth f
